Viva Glam Nicki Dupe!

Hey guys, I came across this dupe a few weeks ago when I noticed I had purchased two new lipsticks that looked pretty similar! Both bright coral/pink colors that are very trendy for Spring and Summer! So here it is...MAC Viva Glam Nicki vs Wet 'n Wild Pinkerbell!

Differences:

Color - Both are coral but Pinkerbell may be a tad more on the coral side as the Viva Glam Nicki leans pretty pink. Not noticeable on the lips, though.

Texture - Looks the same on my hands but Viva Glam Nicki is a Satin finish while Pinkerbell is Matte. Since Pinkerbell is "more" matte, it's more drying on the lips.

Viva Glam Nicki is also much smoother and applies more consistently. Pinkerbell "drags" more on the skin/lips and is a little chunky if swatched heavily.

Price - Viva Glam Nicki is $14.50 and Pinkerbell costs anywhere between $1.50-$1.99 (even cheaper with sales!) But, all the money made from a Viva Glam product go straight to the MAC Aids Fund, so you can't feel bad about that!

I hope this helped someone out there. In my eyes, these are dupes and such a gorgeous color for summertime. I can't wait to wear these babies!
